Q. Does the library charge late fees? Will the library withhold my transcript or block graduation if I don't pay a fine in time?

Materials borrowed from the Rutgers University Libraries' collections automatically renew at the end of each semester for continuing students, faculty, and current staff.

Items borrowed from non-Rutgers libraries and lost materials will be charged a $102 replacement fee. The fee will be automatically waived upon the return of the item.

Equipment and reserve items do not auto-renew and may accrue overdue fees if not returned on time.

The Libraries do not block graduation or withhold transcripts for outstanding materials or fines. Please Ask A Librarian if you have any questions about fines or fees on your account.

Should you need to pay a fine or fee, the Libraries accept payment by cash or personal check.

Cash payments may be made in person at any library circulation desk.

Checks must be mailed to our business office:
